Through
A Lens
I enjoy creating content on my personal social media platforms, capturing and sharing the essence of my hometown, Limerick, and the experiences and views it has to offer. I also enjoy documenting my travels, at home and abroad.
Final Year
Project
I was selected to create a documentary for my FYP at Mary Immaculate College. This documentary looks at the lives of three different combat sportsmen from Limerick City and what drives them in their chosen careers. This was a really enjoyable experience and allowed me to showcase minority sports and all they have to offer.
